First pictures taken with the Galaxy S3 show up
A lot of the rumors we heard the last few months where about the camera. According to some sources the Galaxy S3 would feature an 12 MP camera, but with the release of the Galaxy S3 it became clear that the Samsung Galaxy S3 has an 8MP camera
Although some people where a bit dissapointed by this, they have to understand that a higher resolution doesn’t always mean better pictures. Other important factors are the lens and the module processing the images.
Although the camera of the Galaxy S2 was amazing, Samsung has created a complete new cameramodule with image processor for the Galaxy S3.
Samsung introduces new ways to control your phone
With the presentation of the Galaxy S3 it became clear that Samsung’s focus hasn’t necessarily been on making the best phone spec wise, but making the most user friendly phone ever.
Samsung already started walking this path with the introduction of the Galaxy S2, which had some nice useability tricks. For example, you could zoom in or out by touching it with two fingers and tilting the device.
With the Galaxy S3, Samsung has taken it one step further with various new ways to control your device. In this post we will have a look at some of the new ways to control your device.
Galaxy S3 users will get 50GB of dropbox storage
Although the Galaxy S3 will come with 16/32/64 GB of storage and a slot for a microSD card, Samsung has made sure that you will never get out of space by making a great deal with Dropbox. Every buyer of the Galaxy S3 will receive 50 GB of free cloud storage by Dropbox.
For those of you that don’t know what Dropbox is, it is a cloud file storage service.
When you upload a file to your dropbox account it will be available from your mobile phone using the app, an application on your computer and the dropbox website. This way you have access to your documents everywhere you go, all the time.
The evolution of the Samsung Galaxy S serie
With all the rumors on the internet the last few months, some people where a bit disappointed when the Galaxy S3 was released. The specifications, although state of the art, where not what they hoped for.

To show you how much of an improvement the really S3 is, in this post we will compare it to the previous phones in the Samsung Galaxy S line.
Benchmark: The Samsung Galaxy S3 currently is the fastest phone
A couple of days ago the Samsung Galaxy S III was reveiled on the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event. It is the first Samsung phone that is equiped with a quad core CPU.
In this post we will have a look at the first benchmark results. How does Samsung’s new flagship phone perform? And how does the Samsung Galaxy S III compare to the HTC One X, HTC latest flagship phone that also packs a quad core?
Wireless charging for the S III confirmed
In the past few months we heard the rumor that the Samsung Galaxy S3 could be charged without a wire numerous times. Yesterday Samsung confirmed that it is indeed possible to charge your Galaxy S III by using a wireless charging kit.
Of course, charging by wire is still possible (and probably faster), but you can also buy a special add on that will allow you to charge your phone if it lay’s somewhere near the kit.
Samsung will use glass pin up stores to promote and sell the S3
At the end of the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event, Samsung had one little surprise: A new retail and marketing strategy.
The company will create glass-housed stores around the world, in which you will be able to explore the Galaxy S III yourself, and of course buy it (with or without contract) if you like it.
